What Carolina fans have been calling the worst way to get suspended. The NFL announced its suspension of Panthers safety Tre’von Moehrig.

It was only later that it was brought up that Tre’von hit Jennings in the nethers. But it still brings up a point.
Jennings did hit Moehrig after the game was concluded, which usually winds up as a suspension if they’re following their own rules. This had some wondering if both would be suspended.
The NFL had a chance to make an example of both these guys, especially in the wake of Ja’Marr Chase’s spitting on the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Jalen Ramsey.

Although the Panthers did just sign linebacker, safety combo Isaiah Simmons, which could mean that this could be such a punishable offense that he loses his job.
But also, the Panthers need linebacker help since Trevin Wallace and Christian Rozeboom are both hurt, and this will surely bolster a young group.
